hI!

I am just new to puppy-usb and I thought about moving to ubuntu-usb cause of audacity and ardour.

Or are there any other distros regarding usb and multimedia-editing?

I run a lucid puppy 5.28 from usb with lots of audio programs just perfectly... Ardour(50+ ladspa plugins, 50+ lv2 plugins), jack, jamin(audio mastering tooll, works with jack+ardour), musescore, puredata(graphical audio programming), cinelerra(video), avidemux, pitivi, kdenlive, wiimote libs, qsynth, rosengarden, processing(multimedia programming(java)), arduino, well lots more... I use most of this programs for my university projects, so i put this puppy on differents pcs everyday and its always perfect. I wouldn't use Ubuntu for my works, even if i'm on an i7, i always need the less requirements possible(hd video editing makes any processor work hard, but with puppy it's not that hard). Just make sure you have your puppy-devx.sfs loaded and kernel source so you can compile some lv2 plugins for ardour. And add ubuntu repos.

I am on puppy-slacko and ardour and audacity aren't even starting.

Maybe I'll try lucid. Or puppy-studio and hope it will be actuall (3.1?).

@lilhelper

I'm going to be compiling audacity, qtractor and jack1 for Polarpup (lucid derivative) over the next couple of weeks.

@capicoso

any chance you can package some of those apps, or provide a copy of your personalized pup. there are many request for audio software by people who don't necessarily get into compiling extra. Also, which version of Jack are you using?

[lilhelper]

nevertheless,

i would like to have gentoo on my usb but it takes too much time to compile and to configure.

I'll try puppy-studio.

Welcome to the differences of unix.

btw.: 3.3 is realeased: http://puppystudio.tiddlyspot.com/

Pup Studio is good but no longer maintained

http://puppylinux.org/wikka/PuppyStudio

ideal there would a group maintaining audio apps on pup

lazypup is another option - it has audio sfs packages

Thanks for the offer of help. Maybe Ardour and Jack are a little complex to start with- how about trying MuseScore ?

here are some tutorials

Is Jack 0.3.4 an earlier version of 0.121.3 - can't make out the numbering system

[capicoso]

[darkcity]

my understanding is that it should indeed be a one click install on a clean pup install.

libs and supporting files should be included unless already included in Puppy

static builds won't need this?

You may need separate pet for supporting libs.

regarding Jack I think 0.34 refers to the front end qjackctl not the underlaying libraries jackd

jack 0.118 doesn't support

-JACK Session support . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .: no
-JACK Latency support . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .: no

where as jack 0.121.3 does

ey. I fixed the pd icon problem. It works great, it loads all the external pd libs without problems. And i just finished compiling ardour2.8.6 and jack0.118+qjackqtl into 2 pets with all dependencies satisfied.
Tried them in a fresh install, and they worked... If anyone wants to test them, tell me and i upload them. I would like to test it in other puppy flavors before though.

[darkcity]

great stuff capicoso, i would like to test them. ; -) As this thread has been moved to Misc, maybe start a new thread in

addtional software -> multimedia

asking if people want to test.

don't know why the forum doesn't leave links when thread is moved?
